There are so many things that just shouldn't be digitized. I get it but... Just no.
What is there to get?
The average person thinks digital = magic! and marketers/governments, etc are well aware of that, and will abuse that fact anytime they can.
Ever had to explain to someone that "the cloud" isn't a physical cloud in the sky keeping their passwords & nudes safe? I have way too many times.
The cloud is just somebody else's computer!
You can slap a screen on just about anything that doesn't need it and people will want it.
I know that, but what why would the government want it?
Probably has a GPS tracker in it
So some of the plates do have that function built in and you have to pay monthly to use it.
